Hello netland!
Does anyone out there have a utility which will take a
VMS accounting file and set it up so that SAS can be used
to do many odd things with it? Please respond directly
to me so the network doesn't have to work too hard (maybe
it will start working a little better on the BITNET side).
Thanks to all who respond.

If you have the VMS version of SAS, version 5.16 or later, then look in the samples directory. You will find a subdirectory [.CPE.ACCOUNTING] which contains a program LOADACC.SAS. It reads an accounting file (either a closed version of the regular file or one copied out with ACC/BIN) and makes SAS datasets, one for each record type in the file. It understands everything in VMS 4.x, we haven't done extensive testing of it under VMS 5.0 yet. It also includes a few sample SAS programs that read the datasets, do *extremely* minimal chargeback stuff, etc. It is intended only as a model, and doesn't do much that is interesting except access the data via the dataset model, etc. A more enhanced version will be available this fall as part of a complete CPE and resource management toolkit, that will run with SAS 5.18 on the VAX. Availability not yet known, parts were previewed at the last SUGI.
